Misleading children is one of the lowest tricks the Cartels have stooped to and not for the first time either, the Canadian Library Association is not impressed

On the Captain Copyright website, there are comics for children to read which have been perceived as extensively one sided. Additional lessons in the teachers section contained one particularly controversial lesson of sending pro-copyright letters to newspaper editors. The lessons were for students in grades 1-8.
Another aspect that caused concern was the anti-linking policy in the website. The website had claimed that one could only link to their website only with permission.
Other things outside of these points were flaws in the arguments and the lack of information on things like "fair dealings", "concerned with the potential impact Captain Copyright may have on young minds, the CLA (Canadian Library Association) has decided to act against the cartoon character. The fourth resolution in a public document (PDF) states:
"Resolution 2006 - 4: Access Copyright's "Captain Copyright"
"Whereas Access Copyright has created the Captain Copyright advocacy site (http://ww.captaincopyright.ca/) without consulting CLA and which many Canadian researchers, academics and librarians have condemned as a biased approach to copyright advocacy;
"Whereas the terms of use of the Captain Copyright website shamefully purports to restrict linking to the site, stating "permission to link is explicitly withheld from any website the contents of which may, in the opinion of access Copyright, be damaging of cause harm to the reputation of Access Copyright;
"Whereas this website poses a threat to our shared information commons by providing biased copyright information to the Canadian public, particularly children and schoolteachers;
"Therefore Be It Resolved that the President of CLA write an open letter to Access Copyright, to be drafted by the Copyright Working Group, to condemn the Captain Copyright initiative;"
I,m glad someone is seeing through depraved type of childrens mind poisoning activity, they really ought to be ashamed of themselves.
